We’re back with another edition of 101 Things. So far we’ve crossed 9 things off the list this year. Instead of crossing off one more to make 10, we decided to speed things up and cross off 10 things in one sitting.

Check out the video below to see us tackle the following:
6. Tie-dye
28. Drink out of mason jar
38. Try sugar on snow
50. Learn a foreign language
69. Use a spork
73. Have a cider donut
76. Eat real maple syrup
79. Learn the UVM fight song
81. Compost
100. Own at least one piece of UVM apparel

Like any good movie, the behind the scenes are the best part.

Here’s Derrick showing off his extensive collection of UVM paraphernalia:

And here we are learning the fight song:

Now we’re off to take a nap courtesy of the sugar on snow, cider donut and maple syrup combo.

We are giving away tickets for you and a friend to attend the UVM Hockey game against Dartmouth on Friday, January 8th with Afterword celebrity, Ryan Chartier.

Enter the raffle here and you could win tickets.
As a bonus, the game will feature Martin St. Louis ’97 — probably the most famous UVM hockey player ever — getting his number retired. Oh, and plenty of snacks because Ryan loves snacks.

Derrick and Ryanare still in pursuit of all 101 activities on the infamous list you may or may not have seen floating around campus the last four (or five) years!This time we are crossing #17 off of the list: Hunt for Ghosts in the Attic of Converse on in our special Halloween edition!
I have never once set foot in Converse Hall on UVM campus. Why? Probably not enough friends in college.

But Derrick, having many friends in his day, spent a lot of time in that scary building and encouraged me to hunt for ghosts in the attic space with him on a casual Thursday afternoon in October.There are many stories about haunted places at UVM and Vermont and you can learn about dozens of them here.

Of course, I was skeptical, but as I approached this strangely Gothic structure, I thought it might be worth a look. I mean, nothing else on campus looks as creepy as this building!

Even though it was mid-day, we were a little freaked out the whole time. At the center of the top floor lies a very dated and terrifying mural suspiciously missing Old Mill.

And….*GASP* a television from the late nineties! The temperature outside was dropping, the leaves falling, and the shadows growing, maybe it was time to go back to work…I thought we needed flashlights but the eerie light from spooky windows like these led us to some suspicious graffiti on an old chimney.Upon closer inspection…we noticed something wasn’t quite right…This was very unsettling because I had just eaten potato salad for lunch. It can’t be true.

After all of the skepticism, I was starting to believe that something was truly haunted up here. At that very moment, I heard a voice tell me to go to the door down the hallway…Scary right? I almost got pulled in by some spirit summoning me, but Derrick quickly ran down the hallway and saved me. I was in some kind of trance, but snapped out of it and we left that attic for good. Definitely haunted.

It was also really weird when Derrick said he didn’t remember going up to Converse Hall when we chatted the next day…very strange indeed.
